1134 Decisive Battles of World War II: The German View, edited by H. A. Jacobsen and J. Rohwer (read 6 Oct 1971) I found this book absorbing. It deals with ten subjects, and is by ten different Germans. The first section is on Dunkirk 1940; it still is not clear to me why the Dunkirk evacuation was possible and happened. The second section is on the Battle of Britain: here again one does not understand why the Luftwaffe did not continue. The third section is on the battle for Stalingrad 1942-1943. Then, the U-boat war, which turned in favor of us in May 1943. Then a study on the invasion of Normandy. The fourth study is on the collapse of Army Group Centre in 1944, which was not clear in my mind. It deals with the collapse of the German forces in Russia between June 22 and July 4, an operation by Russian forces which resulted in the loss of 350,000 men for the Germans--twice the loss at Stalingrad. The final study is of the Battle of the Bulge. All good reading, even though a little heavy on identification of German units--so German veterans can read about their units. ( )
